Chicken, Rice & Veggies with Romesco Sauce is a super simple dinner and the sauce can be made ahead of time. Just add in your kid’s favourite green vegetables.
Chicken, Rice & Veggies with Romesco Sauce
You only need one step for this sauce, chuck everything into a food processor and blitz! Or blender or Thermomix.
You can make this as smooth or chunky as you like. I like it pesto like in texture, but if you add more olive oil and blitz longer you will get a smoother, creamier sauce.

Instructions
ROMESCO SAUCE
Place everything into a food processor and blitz until either chunky or smooth. If you prefer smoother, add another tablespoon of oil.
DINNER
Cook the rice the best way you know how. I have a recipe here if you need.
Pan fry the chicken breast, if they are quite large finish them off in the oven at 180°C, for about 15 minutes.
Pan fry the trimmed asparagus on a dry fry pan.
Slice the avocado, cucumber and cheddar.
Serve each bowl with all the ingredients over the rice and a big dollop of Macadamia Romesco Sauce.
Notes
Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week.
